Turning 60, whether dreaded or anticipated, cannot be avoided. Like everyone else, one normally has ideas about what it means to be 60.

Birthday celebrant Bingen Mendezona knew exactly how he wanted to celebrate  his milestone — to have his family and dear friends enjoying each other’s company, sharing great conversations and savoring the food and wine that he carefully selected for them.

Ever-supportive wife Annette Mendezona took charge of all party arrangements, collaborating with Casino Español de Cebu executive chef Rico and his team to come up with  a delightful spread of sinfully tasty  appetizers.

The room was abuzz with well-wishers that included former classmates, fellow bikers, officemates and childhood friends. The celebrant's brother Johnny and his wife Betty, long time residents of the US, flew home to make the party more memorable.

The celebration continued on high energy as the revelry went on with more food and drinks. Bingen and Annette then  led the dancing to the ‘60s sounds.

As in all birthday celebrations, invitees gathered around Bingen as he made a silent wish before blowing out the candles.
